PALESTINE DEBATE? Ticklish Question Of Giving The Jews A

Voice In The UNO Talks! Britain Ready To Reject Plan

New York, May 2.

A possibility developed today that America and Britain will split over the ticklish question of giving the Jews a voice in the UNO debate on Palestine,

As the General Committee of the Assembly was summoned to meet today to consider the issue, there was little doubt that the Jews eventually would be given some representation, but how and where remained unsolved problems.

London, May 2. The final results of a survey made by Mass-Obser- vation, Issued today, show that "unfavourable views of Americans have steadily increased over the past year.” Mass-Observation is a specialised form of public poll, and its investigations have been credited with a high degree of accuracy in the past. The bulletin now issued is the result of com- piling a series of surveys on “attitude to Am- erica and Americans.'

Said Mr. Binstend: "The vehicles have a low loading platform only 18 inches from the ground which gives eny press-facilities-from-all-sides 4o na to enable the patrol to leave the vehicle quickly in the event of any emergency,
